25
people with my name in the U.S.A.
How many have your name?
I'm with Fraser
1
or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A.
How many have your name?
"1 or fewer"...
.. is that a PC way of saying ZERO?
Imagine that in a maths class:
Ok Jimmy, whats 40 - (20+20) ?
1 or fewer, Sir.
Excellent!
I'm a oner
too!
Apparently
99.9% of the 9,149 people in the US with the first name 'Nigel' are male. Or rather were - the stats are based on the 1990 census, so things may have changed. (NB I'm not yet sufficiently awake to subtly avoid gender reassignment ambiguities here. Sorry. My point was leaning more towards the strange American penchant for regendered names, as in Lionel Shriver or Miss Michael Learned.) Anyway, there were 21 with my name there, and it seems my mum and brother were both famous. (No-one tells me anything.)
Gender swapping names
Yes and have you noticed he trend in recent years for blokes names to become women's names. Remember when Joe, Sam, Billy, Chris, Nicky, Jamie were boy's names? Not anymore they're not. And what do we get in return? Kelly (or Kele if you're a Bloc Party fan), and that's about it.
To be fair
I don't think I've seen 'Niks' as a male diminuative before, so you've gained yourself.
I just had to look up the meaning of diminutive...
...before I understood that. And also discovered the words hypocoristic (similar thing, shortened version of a longer name, eg Tony) and Apocopation (cutting off the final syllables in a word, eg photo or anime).
Now I'll get on with some work I think.
I know one of them's a state trooper in Maine...

Quite surprised to be honest...
4
or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A.
How many have your name?
But it's all guess-work anyway: "The program returns an estimate based on available data. It should be considered a "ballpark figure". It will usually return an answer in the right general area, but the chances of the figure being exactly right are very low." (http://www.howmanyofme.com/faq/)
A lot of me
667 to be exact.
I got this
I got this result:

I know one of them sells expensive stereo equipment somewhere in the mid-west, because I once emailed him for a laugh.
But when I type in my full name, Benedict, this happens...
1
or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A.
How many have your name?
Still just me and the Pope then.
At least 1 of me
And he's in this book.
Note the correct spelling. Not the inferior Beanie...

Since you're apparently in his book,
I couldn't help but wonder : is Bob Clampett one of the lesser-known Beverly Hillbillies?
Unique
While there are over 1000 people who share either my first or last name, it would appear there is only 1 or less who shares both.
Handsomes and Wonderfuls
Surprisingly, there are fewer than 1,525 people in the USA with a first name of Handsome and fewer than 335 with a surname of Wonderful. Only 1 or less who shares both and it's not me.

Famous people with the last name Riddle:

I always assumed "famous" implied "non-fictional".
only one
only one of me...
Mine is an ancient Sioux name
Is this coincidence or is this website having us on?
Backwards, you have got exactly the same results as I did (see further up this post - 'Handsomes and Wonderfuls'). Methinks this website is perhaps not as clever as it appears.
